How to Make It in the Music Industry A&R FACTORY Beginners Guide How To Make It In The Music Industry Beginners Guide A&R FACTORY. LEARN TO WRITE A SONG With the digital technology age we live in, it has become much easier for music to be made without professional studio’s and equipment, no longer do you need special skills, you don’t even need to be able to play an instrument, we live in a time where everybody and their sister can and does make music. Which brings me to the point of songs, because you made some music doesn’t mean you got a hit that record companies will be rushing to take from you, you’ve probably heard record labels saying “we don’t know what where looking for, but will recognize it when we hear it”, which doesn’t help you as the artist(s). The truth of the matter is that 95% of music out there is taken originally from some other talented and gifted musician, in fact it is recycled ideas. Challenge yourself; you need to write your own material! Talent scouts in this business hear hundreds of mediocre songs every week; you need to make your song(s) stand out from the rest. With a well written song it will pass the test of time, you may not even sing the song yourself, but it can still be a song that is in demand for years. If someone re-sings your song you will collect royalties on this which can’t be a bad thing, so the key is to have good original lyrics. One of the most difficult tasks in song writing – is getting started! But it’s also one of the most important, because if you start well you’ll have less trouble down the line. If you get past this point, the song tends to dictate where it wants to go; you just have to keep it on the right path. Start your song with a title that appeals to you. Make sure it’s a title that rings true to your ears. www.anrfactory.com [email protected] NEVER STOP PRACTICING YOUR INSTRUMENT One of the curious developments of the late 70’s was the increase of garage bands, punk rock bands, and do it yourself bands, who just picked up an instrument or started to sing with some friends, and 6 months later recorded a record and began playing live gigs. Some new great music and directions in music came out of that situation. But now years down the line the novelty of making amateurish music has lost it shine. The music that is the corner stone of the music industry you will find is often played by musician with a passion and respect for the old masters of Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, Folk Legends, and Rock, along with the songwriters or whatever inspired these musicians to take this path, you don’t need to just play or sing you need to have the passion to always want to improve, you need to challenge yourself at all times to become a better and greater musician, never give up learning, fine tune your skills and then demand more from yourself. Go to as many gigs as you can, listen with eyes open and see what other musician are doing and how they are doing it, and see if you can improve or create something new, your music can become our music, and go out to a wider audience. Think, can I do it better? Yes you can, but you must never give up learning more, take lessons in your instrument or singing to improve your chances, no matter what your development level you can still find your unique style, keep practicing to become perfect, go beyond your limitations, who knows you may discover something new about yourself. In the business of music, if we hear something new, original and available to the public we can invest in you with more security. www.anrfactory.com [email protected] CREATING KICK A** PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL Well as you guessed, you are going to need some promotional material: bios, fact sheets, cover letters, photos this is important that your audience knows something about you and your music, it might give DJ’s some insight into what material you’ve done in the past and what’s on the horizon for the future. My advice to help musician’s promote their careers would be to make your promotion material as informative as possible, include past press releases, or bio’s, and write ups you may have had in the past and organize into a professionally written bio. Do research with your possible targets as to how your promotion material is to be delivered; with the rise in internet technology you will find a lot of DJ’s and record companies prefer to have promotional material sent via email. It’s important your product looks visually good, if not it could get lost among the rest of promo material they receive on a weekly basis. Make sure you don’t forget a reaction form, you need to know what these DJ’s and record companies are thinking about you and your music.. www.anrfactory.com [email protected] REASONS WHY YOU NEED A WEBSITE If you are in a band and serious about making it big in the music industry, having your own website is a great move towards being noticed. With your own website this will allow you to tailor it specifically to your requirement and to represent each individual in the band; which will be easier for your fans to access by just typing in one web address. Make sure the website is done to a high standard, and looks good visually. There is nothing worse than your fans or potential fans going onto your website and being disappointed with the quality. You can do blogs on your website where your fans can interact with you, and you can also give the fans the option to sign up for a newsletter. You want your fans to feel connected to your band. Here are our top 5 reasons why your band needs a website. 1. Build An Email List A lot of bands don’t have a mailing list, which they should; it helps to keep your fans posted with upcoming gigs and any products you have coming out. By creating a mailing list this will ensure your fans get all the information from one source, rather than having to go to several different sites. You can give away a free download of a track or one of your live videos; this will give your fans an incentive to sign up to your mailing list. www.anrfactory.com [email protected] REASONS WHY YOU NEED A WEBSITE 2. Online Store An online store is important so fans can get your CD’s, posters, t-shirts, or any other merchandise you have to sell. This also makes it easier for your fans to purchase your products than having to search through various sites. 3. Online Press Kit Having an online press kit is essential so you can tell venue hosts managers or booking agents to look at your profile on the website. Your press kit should include photographs by a professional photographer, music files, a written biography of your band, press clippings and videos of your band performing. 4. Credibility and Professionalism Having a website shows credibility and professionalism. It is important for your fans to check out what you do on your website. 5. Having An Edge Having your own website gives you an edge over other bands that do not have a website; it gives the fans easy access to know what you are doing and builds up the reputation of the band. www.anrfactory.com [email protected] PLAY LIVE AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN The problems you can get with a lot of musician’s hoping to carve a career within the music industry is lack of patience, not willing to work hard enough, wanting money and fame, not tomorrow but now. You can normally tell the difference between a musician who’s in it for the money, and a musician who’s in it for the music. The musician who is dedicated to his/her musical career will play every live gig that is available to them, focusing on the fact that it’s a long term project and not just for today. You may not get paid today for your live gig but tomorrow it may be different, it could be the gig that makes you get noticed, thus taking you on to the next level of where you want to be. Some musician’s are in the music business for years without getting that break that gives them stardom, but they have never given up, never lost focus even after setbacks and disappointments. On the other side you have the musician who wants it now, sometimes turning down gigs because of lack of money being paid, or in some case no money being paid. You have to remember that Rome was not built in a day www.anrfactory.com [email protected] REGISTER YOUR SONGS So you’ve made your song(s) but it doesn’t stop there, you need to protect your interests, you want to get paid for performing your song(s) and need to take the correct steps going forward. You have taken the time to learn as much as you can about your skills, so why shouldn’t you be the one to benefit.

    The Basics of Proofs Spring 2010 BYU Math Department Today's Topics 1)Using definitions, theorems and laws 2)Using a counter-example 3)Proof by Contradiction 4)Proof by Induction General Rule of Thumb When you see a problem, always ask the following questions: 1)What do they want? 2)What do I know? 3)How can I use what I know to get what they want? Using Definitions, Theorems, and Laws Proofs are very different from the traditional math problem. Often the problem won't tell you all the information you need. This is why it's important to know the definitions, theorems, and laws listed throughout the section, chapter, and book. Let's try an example First, you need some definitions. These may seem obvious, but pretend that you've never been taught this stuff before. 1 + 1 = 2 Prove: 2 + 3 = 5 1 + 1 + 3 = 5 Let's start by asking the basic questions 1) What do they want? 2) What do I know? 3) How can I use what I know to get what they want? Example 1, cont. What do they want? How do I use what I 1 + 1 + 3 = 5 know to get what they What do I know? want? 1 + 1 = 2 Since 1 + 1 = 2 2 + 3 = 5 Then 1 + 1 + 3 = 2 + 3 And we know that 2 + 3 = 5 Therefore => 1 + 1 + 3 = 5. QED Quick Gear Change! You shouldn't (and your professors won't!) use standard English to write out the steps of your proofs. We will use notation instead.

  • “What Do I Know?” Included with the Reading Are a Set of Guiding ​ ​ ​ Questions
    Philosophy 12th Grade Summer Assignment 2018-2019 Welcome to your SENIOR year! I know you’ve got A LOT of work from your AP classes (haha), but here’s another log for the fire. Your assignment is simple. You are to read the 11-page philosophical primer “What Do I Know?” Included with the reading are a set of Guiding ​ ​ ​ Questions. The questions themselves will not be collected, but… There will be a short-answer ​ exam based on said questions on the first day of class. Do them, and you’ll start off the semester right. Don’t do them, and well… good luck. If you have obnoxious questions like, “How many questions? How many points is it worth?” Throw them away. Start asking yourself more meaningful questions like: 1. If I choose not to read or do these questions, did I really CHOOSE to not do them? Or did circumstances outside my control (unhealthy environment, bad genes, luxurious vacations) compel me to not do them? Do we truly have free will? 2. Why should I care about this assignment? Or grades? Or school? Or my self? Is there a reason for everything that happens? Or do we live in a contingent and absurd universe? 3. Why do I even want to go to college anyway? Aren’t I just going to work even harder there, get a “good” job, work for 30+ years, and then slowly wait for death? 4. Oh my God, why am I here? What am I? Do I even exist? 5. If Fuentes is going to be my philosophy teacher, will he be even more annoying than what I imagined him to be? 6.
